all the time. It's the primary way that we interact with
our data, and make sense of it. Yet, all too often,
investing in data visualization is seen as a "nice to
have", something to make things "prettier", or something
to be done only at the end of the research when
preparing for a presentation or publication. While data
visualization is an important part of communicating
results, it is a critical tool for analyzing data as
well. Changing how we (literally) look at our data can
be the difference between making a scientific discovery
or overlooking the key insight. </font></p>

challenge is that it's not clear how to do it better. And,
it can feel like a whole different skill set, disconnected
from science, algorithms, or our knowledge of what's
important about the data. </p>

Specialist Zan Armstrong will introduce 3 guiding

use data visualization<i> *in combination with your own
domain expertise* </i>to better understand your own
